Climate change impacts on agricultural productivity in Norway
(2004:10, Working paper, 2004)Climate change is likely to affect agricultural productivity. In this study, a biophysical statistical model is used to analyze the relationship between yields of potatoes, barley, oats and wheat per decare, and temperature ... -
Climate change and environmental assessments: Issues in an African perspective
(1997:02, Working paper, 1997)The present study discusses the potential for integrating climate change issues into environmental assessments (EAs) of development actions, with emphasis on sub-Sahara Africa. The study is motivated by the fact that future ... -
The feasibility of ambitious climate agreements: Norway as an early test case
(2002:03, Working paper, 2002)There are considerable differences between developed countries as to how difficult it will be to meet their commitments under the Kyoto Protocol. ‘High-cost abatement countries’ are particularly interesting as they can be ... -
Kostnadseffektiv klimapolitikk med doble gevinster
(1999:06, Working paper, 1999)Publikajsonen drøfter valg og dosering av klimapolitiske tiltak i et land som er bundet av en utslippsforpliktelse i Kyotoprotokollen, men samtidig tar hensyn til en offentlig budsjettbetingelse. Antakelsen om at en ... -
Globalization of the automobile industry in China: Dynamics and barriers in the greening of road transportation
(2001:09, Working paper, 2001)This article describes the state of the automobile industry and urban road transportation management in China. It reviews how the automobile industry is evolving to respond to challenges in economic development, environmental ... -
A comparison of taxes and tradable permits in national climate policy
(1999:08, Working paper, 1999)This article discusses domestic climate policy design in a country that has made a binding commitment to the Kyoto Protocol but at the same time want to limit the number of industry shutdowns that follows from the policy. ... -
A general equilibrium view of global rebound effects
(2009:02, Working paper, 2009)How do energy efficiency gains affect energy consumption? The effects are generally called "rebound effects" in the literature. Previous studies have extensively focused on only part of the global economy to study rebound ... -
Impacts of reduced NOx emissions on radiative forcing through changes in tropospheric O3 and CH4: A global 3-D model study
(1997:01, Working paper, 1997)A three-dimensional global chemical tracer model and a radiation transfer model have been used to study the role of reduced NOx emissions on radiative forcing. Through production of tropospheric O3, NOx emissions lead to ... -
Towards constructing a common energy policy in the European Union: How can we theorise about the actor role of the Commission?
(1994:13, Working paper, 1994)This paper presents empirical evidence on the development of the energy policy of the European Union in the period 1985–94, showing how the Commission has worked towards the member states. It highlights the role of the ... -
Climate policy futures, energy markets, and technology: Implications for Norway
(2000:09, Working paper, 2000)This paper is part of the joint CICERO and Fridtjof Nansen Institute (FNI) project “Towards a cost-effective climate policy: The international framework and Norwegian policy framework” (“Mot en effektiv klimapolitikk: ... -
Option values and the timing of climate policy
(2003:04, Working paper, 2003)This paper reconsiders the importance of irreversibilities in climate change policy. The model presented here captures the irreversibility of both climate change due to greenhouse gas emissions and abatement technology ... -
Mobile source pollution control in the United States and China
(2002:01, Working paper, 2002)This paper reviews policies for the control of mobile source pollution and their potential application in China. The first section of the paper reviews the U.S. experience with mobile source pollution control since ... -
An alternative to the Global Warming Potential for comparing climate impacts of emissions of greenhouse gases
(2003:03, Working paper, 2003)The Global Warming Potential (GWP) is used within the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change as a metric for weighting the climatic impact of emissions of different greenhouse gases. ... -
Tough justice for small nations: How strategic behaviour can influence the enforcement of the Kyoto Protocol
(2003:01, Working paper, 2003)This paper looks at how strategic considerations may play a role in the decision of whether or not to impose sanctions on Parties who are not in compliance with their commitments to the Kyoto Protocol. A member of the ... -
Market power with interdependent demand: Sale of emission permits and natural gas from the Former Soviet Union
(2004:01, Working paper, 2004)With implementation of the Kyoto Protocol, the Former Soviet Union countries, and Russia in particular, will most likely be able to exert market power in the emission permit market. However, since these countries are also ... -
Estimating and managing uncertainties in order to detect terrestrial greenhouse gas removals
(2002:07, Working paper, 2002)Inventories of emissions and removals of greenhouse gases will be used under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and under the Kyoto protocol to demonstrate compliance with obligations. During the ... -
An efficient and accurate carbon cycle model for use in simple climate models
(1999:01, Working paper, 1999)The aim of this publication is to document a simple model of the atmospheric CO2 concentration based on exogenous input of anthropogenic emission of CO2 and taking air-sea exchange and biospheric responses into account. ... -
Tradeable emission quotas for CO2: Quotas on use of carbon or on production of carbon?
(1992:01, Working paper, 1992) -
Corporate environmentalism: Notes on conceptualization and explanation with anecdotal evidence from the oil industry

Metodar for å samanlikne utslepp av klimagassar: GWP-konseptet og alternative metodar
(1999:11, Working paper, 1999)I denne publikasjonen har vi søkt å presentere ulike metodar for å samanlikne effekten av utslepp av klimagassar. Det globale oppvarmingspotensialet (GWP) er utvikla av FN sitt klimapanel (IPCC) til dette formålet. Dette ...
